The RAF Badminton Association seeks to provide badminton for all standards across the Royal Air Force.
If you’re looking to switch-up your usual fitness regime and get away from the gym, badminton can be a fantastic alternative. It provides a heart-racing workout, some great health benefits and can be played socially, as well as competitively.
The sport can help reduce stress and anxiety by taking your mind off everyday life while concentration levels will naturally improve through the combination of focus and agility required during a match.
Playing badminton engages your brain in a positive way by having to think about what you’re doing – whether it’s deciding where to serve, reacting quickly to a smash, or where to stand on court.
It also offers benefits in areas such as focus, coordination, fitness, and stress reduction. It enhances focus and concentration through the need to track the shuttlecock and anticipate opponents’ moves. The sport also improves hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, essential for precise shots.
From grass-roots clubs at Unit level to representing the UK Armed Forces, we are here to help you develop, compete and enjoy the great sport of Badminton.
